Being a part of the Taft Museum's Artists Reaching Classrooms program has given seven Winton Woods High School students "the opportunity to actually work with artists who make that their profession," said Advanced/AP art teacher Carol Becci-Youngs. "ARC has turned a concept into reality for these students."

Becci-Youngs said touring an artist's studio and having classroom visits from a book illustrator, ceramic artist and graphic designer have all helped her students decide if they really want to pursue art as a career.

"At the end of the year the students can participate in a juried art show that further helps them understand the world of a professional artist," said Becci-Youngs. "There are rules and deadlines they have to follow to be part of the annual Artists Reaching Classrooms Student Art Exhibition."

Winton Woods students who had work selected for the show were Katie Schmittou, Sarah Ante, Bridgette Scott-Devlin, Sean Jetter, Alona Pasichnyk, Moonee Phou and Jalen Walker.

Walker won an honorable mention for his self portrait. All the student artwork was displayed at the main branch of the Public Library of Cincinnati & Hamilton County.
